Recognize sounds using Apple Vision Pro

Your Apple Vision Pro can continuously listen for certain sounds—such as a crying baby, doorbell, or siren—and notify you when it recognizes these sounds.

Note: Don’t rely on your Apple Vision Pro to recognize sounds in circumstances where you may be harmed or injured, in high-risk or emergency situations, or for navigation.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Sound Recognition.
Turn on Sound Recognition.
Tap Sounds, then turn on the sounds you want Apple Vision Pro to recognize.
Tip: You can quickly turn Sound Recognition on or off in Control Center.
